The Hingalganj Initiative- The First Step


The Project- Relief Operations in Hingalganj area

This project started with a simple appeal made by Sipra Mukherjee on 25 May, 2020 and a letter written to Sri Pulak Roy Chowdhury by Anindya Mukherjee on 26 May, 2020. This is not going to be a one time only relief operation. A few of us have pledged to dedicate our time and energy to work hand in hand with Sri Pulak Roychowdhury (Head Master of the Kanaknagar SD Institution, Hingalganj) for the next few months.

This was followed by a chain reaction of goodwill and kindness. As a result, with the kind donation of many, we are able to keep our word and visit Hingalganj on 31 May, 2020. In this first trip, we are planning to stay at Hingalganj for 2 nights (if necessary more) and help Sri Pulak Roy Chowdhury and his team of volunteers.

We will post the following in this blog page :

1- Names of  the donors and details of donation
2- List and quantity of items procured with the help of the donation
3- Short report of the relief operations along with photos.
4- Expenditures 

Please follow this page for updates and reports.

We are extremely thankful to the following people for the initial ( and very crucial) work of spreading the word and helping us getting the much needed financial support within a tight deadline:

Amrita Dhar
Rajashree Dasgupta
Dr. Rupak Bhattacharya
Dr. Kallol Das

  1. Keeping us updated is a good and possibly mandatory exercise. But let it not be a priority.
    Expense accounts usually have an entry under "miscellaneous ".
    You who are fighting in the trenches with your love,heart,soul ,mind have a major expense of blood(hope not),toil,tears snd sweat.
    We the arm-chair feel-gooders are the miscellaneous.
    So God bless
    Best of luck
    Fair weather and Godspeed

  2. May I also add ,lest I be misunderstood, that "miscellaneous " is also mandatory to balance the books.
    So a big hand to all the miscellaneous too.
    God be with us all too.

  3. Rightly said, Rupak da. In fact, there is always one entry called BhaJa in Bangla in our final accounts - because there's always a small amount that is impossible to trace and only God Knows where it went. Hence BhaJa: Bhagaban Jaane. We trust you, Anindya- and the risky work you are undertaking is far more than money can buy.
